Agriculture Roundup for Tuesday May 3, 2022
MELFORT, Sask. — The federal agriculture minister wants climate related incentives included in business risk management programs (BRM).
Marie-Claude Bibeau, provincial, and territorial ministers of agriculture met in Ottawa yesterday to discuss the next agricultural policy framework ahead of their annual meeting in Saskatoon in July.
The ministers spent their morning session discussing what they want in the framework that will replace the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, which expires in March 2023.
The afternoon portion of their meeting was spent on various other issues, including the avian influenza outbreak, global food security following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the creation of a grocery code of conduct.
